There is a nascent GM (grand master) scene brewing in the Boston area. BUDA is providing support with a six team GM division, and a tournament which was held yesterday: the BUDA GM Tune up. Four teams signed up. I hadn't joined one of the regular teams, and fell in with a fifth team assembled from free agents, for a round-robin format tourny.

We had spectacular, last day of summer weather, and drew a first round bye allowing us to sleep late. At the fields, we surprised ourselves, winning three out of our four games. And we had a game point in hand in our only loss. I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum, which is what I am.

Shout out to Minimum Time Aloft:Natalie, Paula, Charles, Smitty, Bennett, Mark, Art (captain), Nathan, Steve, me, Jamie, and Josh.

The last bit of renovation work was electrical. We had the door bells reconnected and a few other wires put in place. The town was called (and called) in and signed off. The renovation is complete. Yea!

Of course, one ceiling light fixture that was fixed is now dark again. But now we have a ladder sufficient to reach. Now if I could only find the bulb that goes there.
